Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of new materials with enhanced wear and corrosion resistance is a continuous effort by different research groups and companies around the world which has an enormous impact on all segments of our society: mining, automotive, aerospace, agricultural, health, and so forth. Nevertheless, delimiting the concept itself of new material is somehow arbitrary and subjective but implicitly relies on novel and breakthrough approaches to create or master highly specific material properties to sort out problems.
It is for this reason that we are launching this Special Issue on “Wear, Friction, and Corrosion of New Alloys” which focuses on the design, evaluation, and characterization of new alloys subjected to wear and/or corrosion conditions either as bulk or as a coating. This issue invites researchers to share their research on how to address wear and corrosion degradation problems using new materials as well as novel technologies. Manuscripts on the following topics are encouraged to be submitted in this Special Issue:
- Novel wear and corrosion resistance alloys produced by different processes, including but not limited to thermal spray, laser cladding, additive manufacturing processes, and so forth;
- Experimental research and/or theoretical studies in novel materials with outstanding corrosion and/or wear resistance under a variety of testing conditions;
- Case studies showing new alloys or technology to overcome field problems related to wear and corrosion.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
